I'm thinking the trendsetters are either at or very close to end of life status?

Farabomb

You may me correct. The one we were looking at turned out to be older than the CAT 88 we have. The good thing is that the boss is ok with entertaining the thought of a new, used machine rather than just saying no as he did in the past.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

The Suprasetter is designed and manufactured by Heidelberg in Weisloch, Germany. It is a complete family from a 20" CtP up to a 73" CtP. There are thousands of Suprasetters installed and we do occasionally offer used ones as well as I see dealers offering used. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help. Thanks.

Best,

Mark

Hey Mark, this is a bit off topic but did you happen to be an instructor for the Tango and Topaz drum scanners & software down in Long Beach back in the late 90's?

Hi gig0,

I do have a scanner background going back to Hell prior to Linotype Hell but was off scanners when the Tango and Topaz were launched.  In the 90's,  I ran the Linotype-Hell Demo Center in Cypress, Ca until they shut it down. I then moved into an Implementation Specialist position where I reviewed production needs and then designed a workflow to go with it. I did that until 2000, then I moved to Heidelberg's headquarters into Product Management for CtP and Proofing. Back to California in 2009 for Sales. Funny, this is the third time I have lived in California.....do not plan on leaving it again:). There is a very good chance that we did meet in the 90's here. Where were you working at then?


Best,

Mark

I was working at Jano Graphics in Ventura. Me and and another person went down to Long Beach for a week to learn the scanners and LinoColor sofware. Some of the best education I still carry with me to this day. Your name just seems vaguely familiar.
